Will You Live to see 90?


I recently picked a new GP.  After two visits and exhaustive Lab tests, he said I was doing 'fairly well' for my age (I've just reached 80).

A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him, 'Do you think I'll live to be 90?'

He asked, 'Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer, wine or hard liquor?

'Oh not much grog these days and don't smoke' I replied. 'I'm not doing drugs, either!'

Then he asked, 'Do you eat rib-eye steaks, fatty roasts and barbecued Ribs?

'I said, 'Not much; my former doctor said that red meat is unhealthy!'

'Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, boating, fishing, sailing, surfing, hiking, or bicycling?'

'No, I don't,' I said.

He asked, 'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lots of sex?'

'No,' I said.

 

He looked at me and said,.. "Then, why the *****@#$%!%       do you want to live to 90?"
